She stretched out her hand and gently pressed her shoulder for the Qin family: "Mother, why don't you think about it from a different angle, if we marry a genius to the Si family, how tolerant and generous is it regardless of previous suspicions?" What if it's a concubine? A genius concubine is enough to gag the mouth of the Si family. ”

"The more she stands, the happier we should be."

"That's right." Qin's frowning brows eased slightly.

But it didn't take long to be happy, and Zhou Yihui's personal maid cuckoo came in with a gloomy face.

"Madam, the master came back, saying that he wanted to meet the third girl."

The Qin clan snorted in displeasure.

"Mother, look, say Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive." Zhou Yihui chuckled lightly, and helped the Qin family, who had a bad face, to go to the hall together.

……

Zhou Xiangye is over thirty years old, with beautiful hair and lofty spirits, and it can be vaguely seen between his eyebrows and eyes that he should be a handsome gentleman. It's just that time is not forgiving, and some vicissitudes have been carved on his face, and the handsome young man has become a middle-aged man who is now mighty and heroic.

When he saw Zhou Yining, his face did not change, he was not sad or happy, not like a father.

"You're back." He glanced at Zhou Yining. "I heard that you have a talent for reading and writing."

Zhou Yining pretended to be shy and lowered his head, hiding the essence in his eyes: "It's just that there are some fierce rumors outside, I'm just a mediocre person." ”

"A mediocre person can't memorize the three-character scripture in five days, and he can't practice a good hand, you are quite talented, you don't have to hide it."

Zhou Xiangye said and stroked the back of Zhou Yining's head, a loving father's style.

Zhou Yining almost couldn't control his body and dodged.

Every inch of stroking made her feel sick from the bottom of her heart.

Hmph, Father?

What to pretend to be in front of her?

A person who can sell his daughter to the Si family just for a good reputation is not worthy of being her father.

In the past few days, Zhou Yining has raised a lot of people, her face is ruddy, and her eyes are round and moist like a deer, which is generally enough to make people feel pity for her, she looks at Zhou Xiangye with admiration, pretending to be a daughter full of expectations.

Prime Minister Zhou praised a few words without being salty, turned around and walked to his seat.

At this time, he found that the Qin family and Zhou Yihui were also seated.

Ignoring the eldest daughter, who has always been excellent, Zhou Xiangye looked a little embarrassed: "Madam...... Hui Niang also came. ”

Zhou Yihui has been Zhou Xiangye's treasure since she was a child, and although she was slightly unhappy when she was left out at the moment, she still greeted her and called her father with a smile.

As if he was deliberately going to show Zhou Yining, a few glances made all the servants present treat Zhou Yining who was standing in place as air, and no one moved her seat, so she was stupid and stunned.

Qin's family cordially picked up vegetables for Zhou Xiangye, and asked Zhou Yihui to pinch Zhou Xiangye's shoulders and serve tea, completely ignoring Zhou Yining, who was standing awkwardly in place, and it seemed that the family of three at the dinner table looked like family.

And Zhou Yining, who was waiting on the side, looked like an outsider.

Zhou Yining did not have the anxiety and panic that Qin imagined, on the contrary, she was very calm.

Yes, she's always been an outsider.

Since the day she was born, she has not been treated as a family member by the Xiangfu family.

Tools, trading goods, these have always been the labels on her.

It's just that tool people also have tempers.

Zhou Yining stood in place and slowly raised his head, as if he didn't understand anything, and called out crisply: "Father, where should I sit now?" ”
